Well 1st of all, for 16, i wound up presenting chikins at a livestock show. i dont recomend doing so. (though i did get some major money) . but, um, i would sugest simply getting a couple of friens, eating at a casual restarant, seeing a movie, then go to some place, an overlook, a beach, somplace semi-secluded. take some CDs some drinks, (preferably non-alcohlic) and just sit out there with your best buds atlking and hanging out.

Ah, here we have it; I always knew a thread would start like this. Alas, here am I, probably the only active Mormon on OB. Yes, I openly admit, we are very much of a different breed of worshipers, Christians, religionist, whatever. And I have taken fair amount of ridicule from others of a different faith. 8 times out of 10, when I say I?m Mormon, the 1st thing the person asks is "um, do you like have a bunch of wives or moms?" at 1st it was funny, now it gets on my nerves a tinsy bit ( and it is really hard to actually bother me). It has gotten to the point that i despise the very word Aztec (don?t ask, long story). Our entire history is filled with a whole lot ridicule and hatred, and even the simple "making fun of". In the beginnings of the church, members were sometimes mobbed, leaders were tarred-and-feathered. Why, a main reason was that Mormons were abolitionist, or against slavery. And in some areas of the US where slavery was allowed, people didn?t want any abolitionist votes being cast. it got to the point where at one point, the governor of (I?m pretty sure it was this state.) Missouri initiated an Extermination Act. Declaring that all Mormons were to be out of Missouri by a certain date or face consequences. This is only one a many horrendous acts done Since then, things have become less violent, but are still, as I see it, pretty much nasty and dishonest. Anti-Mormons have created storms of people tossing out pamphlets of Anti-Mormon literature at large Mormon assemblies. My favorite act to quote is how they have gone as far as to rent billboards on major highways in major cities, and then discredit the Mormon Church with scripture taken out of context. As with the older days of the church, there is too much to list here. As for the making fun of stuff, ah, it?s not to bad, as long as the audience isn't full of not so bright people who may take what is said to literally. oh and by the way, yah, Mormons are the best at making fun of Mormons. Me and my buddies love to sit up at night and come up with Mormon jokes. I Have to admit, I don?t think that the Mormon Church is the most made fun of. The Catholics surely get more rap than us. I usually don't even try to make fun of other religions, not even the Jehovah?s Witnesses. I feel that unless you have actually tried to study that religion, from a member?s point of view, you really have no right to make fun of what you don?t understand. I think that I will end this here. I may post more later I may not. I?m just curious to see what others have to say that are non-member, members, and even the couple of ex-members I know of. -Endure to the End

Now, Im sure most of us have at least seen Trigun to some extent, and ive heard about a couple of other cowboy/western/shootum up on a horse type of magna/anime. But from what i understand, they arent all that realistic/good. i wanna know 2 things from my favorite people in the world (the OB gang). 1) what good, more realitic/slightly historically accurate western/cowboy anime/manga are out there. 2) Do you think the idea of a slightly histoically accurate western/cowboy anime/manga is a good idea?

when ever the power goes out, i enjoy going to houses in the neighboorhood (QUESTION NOT MY SPEILIN) and run from window to window it a candle while wearing my goofy ninja suit, tapping on windows, and screaming at little kids in thier rooms..........i need a life....... :animecry:

oh, i dont recomend using this, i have a few friends who are constantly aroused, its funny to see them walk away with a drink in thier lap. Excuse me, ma'am, I'm with the police. I'm going to need to to remove most of your cloths, lay on your back and spread your legs, i asure you this is only a routine pat down.

Hey, i want to get a good poll from my favorite people here in OB. Im gonna list some genres of manga as well as thier descriptions (in case u dont actualy know what they are..... :animeswea ) plez tell me what you SINGLE ONE UNO genre is your absolute fav. give me what you think in both a post response and in the actual poll. 1.Action - A story that indulges a reader's penchant for physical exertion, through the depiction of combat, sport, chase, or a confluence of these. 2.Drama - A story in which the conflict rests in the personality of its characters in an environment that is typically more a natural setting. 7.3.Sci-Fi - A story that uses projections of science into the future for purposes of illuminating core themes of our modern age. 4.Romance - A story that focuses on love as the key motivating factor for human behavior. 5.Mystery - A story that is propelled by the revelation of information in increments that culminates in an uncovering of larger scheme. 6.Comedy - A story for which humor is the central conceit. Horror - A story in which the induction of fear is the primary goal, either through the introduction of the unknown, the supernatural or the macabre to its main characters. 8.Fantasy - A story that involves magical or fantastical elements as part of its established world, whether this be more traditional fantasy such as that involving warriors and dragons, or the mystical realms of angels, devils and mer-people.

i think i ust peed my pants, that was really flipping funny. like the other preson there, i thikn the pikachu anger issues was the best. keep up the good work partner!

when i look out on all of these so called "demonstations" and "protests" i fell yet another empty black hole open up in my stomache. yes, i am urked by people who demand money, welfare, and what not from a government that they have (for teh most part) done nothing for. very very few, if any at all have paid taxes. most havent contributed a single dime to our economy, with the exception of theyre actuall jobs. Im urked that people not of this land want us to change for them. like those other guys said; if emmigrate go to Russia or where ever, are they all supposed to learn english. HEck no, i have to go though the massive greulling procces of learning russian. If we can fix our immaigration problems, and cut the illigal immigration, then that poor starving family in Mexico won't have to wait 20 years to become citizens. our government wont be so preoccupied with fighting illigels. But you know the one thing that has totally urked me the most, the fact that these people want to become citizens SO SO BAD in the USA, they want help from the AMERICAN GOVERNMENT; and yet, what are they doing as they march around the streets demanding what they havent earned? They are waving the flag of the very nation they are trying to leave. i do belive that it was Theodore Rosevelt who said something to the effect of: In America, there is room for but one language, and taht language is english. And in America there is room for but one flag, and taht is the American flag. When you come into this nation and adopt it as your home, you adopt its flag and its language along with it. PS i know thi stuff isnt really all that organized, but oh well.

i dotn really quite see our future laying the hands of present leaders, quite so much as i do see it laying in our own. as far as that goes, i see our future in a bitter-sweet type of way. Yes the economy isnt doing so hot right now, heck, it could take another heavy plunge soon. But it wont last. Soon, i just know that our economy is gonna be back up and runnig smoothly. yah, war is taking its tolls on it, and will continue for a while even after the fighting is over. The political system wil change little. it will probably still be a little corrupt, and not as effective as it should be. but still "kinda" get the job done. i see a the government/economy as a whole doing fairly well by 2020. However, as far as the society goes, thats where i see the bad stuff. i see morality, family values, family life, value of life, and every thing related, all taking a nosedive. thats all im gonna say, thats all i can say with out having other guys come flaming down on me.

my confesion, well, one major thing is that i think that a whole buncha peoples on the site are hardheaded and ignorant brats. :animeangr

i have been watching the news lately, and all these riots and massive assamblies about all the illigals and the ways for mexicans, cubans, and other hispanics to gain legal citizenship. i am unsure of my own opinion. i simply want to know others opinopns and what they think should be done. now, if you have any plans on bashing anybody severly, get out, i dont want any big flames in here. lets all act like big boys and girls and not throw around senseless crap.

i also learned the hard way what happens when you grab a porcenlin plate that has been in the microwave for 4 minutes with you bare hands.

yah, i uh, kinda have very bad days every once in a while. :animeswea . lol yah um for instance after recieving an incredible amount of dares from friends, i was convinced to do the following: 1) stand up in the back of a pickup going 50mph while holding a 9loaded) 12gauge shotgun 2) jump off back of truck going 50mph (holding loaded gun) 3)attempt to land on a large bale of hay beside road. (holding loaded gun) 4) shoot can sitting on fence 10ft away with gun. 5)whoop in victory and become farm hero. :animesigh heres what happend: 1)Stood in back of pickup going 50mph, was pretty steady, jsut before jump, slipped and tripped. 2)only on half balance, still tried to make jump (with gun in hand) 3)half missed hay, hit edge then flew into pig mud pen (with loaded gun) 4)upon hitting hard ground (underneath the mud and pig crap) gun was jolsted in hy hands, and went off, instead of hitting can, hit large tree limb, hanging over pig pen. Limb broke off, fell on me, fell on pig, fell on my dignity and pride. 5)moaned in misery and pain, became loser of farm. my uncle doesn't let me come to his farm in the summer anymore. went to hospital with twisted leg. :animecry: and ive done worse :animeswea

i have to say the wierdest manga/anime would definatly be Excel Sage. i mean really, thats like pycotic. you have people dying the being revived every 5 minutes, asceded being sleeping with dead mexicans, off the wall politcal racial and religous jokes, and not to mention petafile scientist!

hey i have a friend that will be drawing up some of my characters for me. would anybody who likes my manga idea also like to see what my friend has cooked up?
